Likelihood to Recommend Litera Desktop has many functions, but it is still a user-friendly program. Very easy to implement and easy to train. We send a variety of documents to clients and other legal professionals electronically. Litera will clean and scrub documents so that there is no hidden metadata when the documents are transferred. This keeps not only our clients and their files safe, but it keeps our email programs safe and clean as well.
Read full review It's a wonderful asset to have when you lose your original Word doc, etc. so you can still edit a document (and not have to start from ground zero). That feature alone is why I bought this product and why I will continue to recommend.
Read full review Pros Clearly shows the changes between two documents using multiple colors of text and crossing-out and underlining. Has diverse options for savings and sending the comparison document (Word, PDF and its own proprietary file format). Has multiple options for letting you review each of the changes (in sequential order or by type of change). Read full review PDFelement provides the same powerful features as Adobe Acrobat, but the interface is easy to learn and use. The product is extremely intuitive, which saves our clients from becoming frustrated as they learn the product. PDFelement Pro's ability to create fillable forms with the click of one button is one of our clients favorite features. I was impressed at how accurately PDFelement performed this task and the ease with which these fields can be edited, if needed. Security is more important than ever these days and PDFelement provides the encryption and permissions to protect documents quickly and easily. I especially like the batch encrypt feature, this makes it easy to protect multiple files with the same password. PDFelement makes it easy to extract the data from form fields. This is a huge plus for our clients. Read full review Cons It is the best when comparing any text or fragment of any content. It helps us to better understand the purchases at the moment of making a move in our newsroom. Its compatibility with other systems is very effective and safe, it makes us communicate safely. Read full review I wish there was a lighter program for just reviewing a document and then to transition seamlessly to an editing mode. It takes a few seconds longer to load than Preview on my Mac, and based on that frustration, I use Preview to view documents. A lower price for upgrades.

Read full review Usability They have done a good job of now overloading Workshare Compare with extra features it doesn't need. This does a couple of things:
It means the interface doesn't have too many menus or too many buttons to click. Everything is straightforward and easy to use. It keeps the software fast. It makes it easy on the user to decide when you do and do not need to use this software. Read full review I am a novice and I am using it like a pro because it is so easy to work with
Read full review Reliability and Availability No issues. Works perfect
Read full review Performance I gave Workshare Compare such a high rating because I don't think I could do my job without it. It has just become so integral to my workflow, that if I were to ever change jobs I think I would have to insist my new employer to me a license. It is fast and just works 99% of the time. It is very rare that it gives me errors, and when it does it's likely because the underlying document is corrupted, not because of any issues with Workshare Compare.
Read full review There is a lot of learning. Although some of the functions you can probably pick up relatively quickly, some of them, including compressing the size or using a different language, remains a myth to me.
Read full review Support Rating PDFelement is always in contact with me, by email and by giving constant tips and recommendations. But what makes me give you a 10, was the outstanding support service received on July 9th by one of your support professionals Amanda, who helped me with a tariff issue, and makes me [rate] your product.

Read full review Alternatives Considered The interaction that can be done within this software is very different from the others. One of the most important is that it is dedicated to quickly and easily summarize the work of comparing files, without having to work a lot to do it. Also, it is a program that helps to discover the direct opinion among the users of these documents.
Read full review I didn't try or buy other programs, but did a good bit of research on them. I went with PDFelement because of the lower pricing, and because of the rich features I learned it had. I also appreciated the great customer service I received from reps in the community forums, which showed me they have an aim in keeping their customers happy - which is always good to have when using fairly complex technical apps.

Read full review Return on Investment Document Security is of paramount concern and Workshare 9 is a workhorse. Accuracy of Document Comparison is also a a critically important task and it is done to perfection.
